Thomas will draw into the Kings lineup on Tuesday.

The Kings are already locked into the second spot in the Pacific division, so Thomas will slot in along with Caleb Jones, Trevor Lewis, and Kyle Burroughs for Tuesday's game in Seattle. Mikey Anderson, Drew Doughty, Anze Kopitar, and Quinton Byfield will all get the night off.
